NRA Personal Protection Outside the Home

NRA Personal Protection Outside the Home (CCW)

For experienced handgun shooters, this is the premiere Concealed Carry Weapon course in the United States.

It teaches the effective use of a concealed handgun and includes concealment techniques and devices, presenting the handgun from concealment, utilizing cover, movement, point shooting, engaging multiple targets, one-hand shooting, and low-light shooting. Also included are strategies for preventing violent encounters and the legal ramifications of using lethal force in self defense outside the home.

The course is divided into two levels of live fire exercises: Basic PP2 and ADVANCED PP2.

The Basic Level covers presentation from a concealed holster (or purse), shooting from cover, shooting one-handed, and point shooting.

The Advanced level includes moving while shooting, shooting from low cover, shooting from sitting, turning, prone, low-light and hip-shooting (called the “speed rock”).

In total there are seven segments including Strategies for Personal Safety Outside the Home; Carrying a Concealed Handgun and Presenting from Concealment; Developing Basic Defensive Shooting Skills; Developing Concealed Carry Skills; plus the all-important Self-Defense and the Law.

The course is a hands-on program with both levels encompassing fourteen hours of classroom and range instruction.

This is a full 2 day class NRA textbook and certificate are included.
